Zane Thigpen, 11, of Arkadelphia, Ark., loves basketball. In fact, he loves it so much he worked all summer to buy basketballs for every classroom, kindergarten through fifth grade, in the Arkadelphia school district, according to the Associated Press. He started a lawn care business and raised enough money to buy 43 basketballs. He even had enough left to get one for himself. "I just like basketball," Zane said. "The kids need to play something at recess."
